We live in a world where we are surrounded by tempting and unhealthy food choices. Sugar-laden treats and items loaded up with artificial additives may seem appealing to the palette, but they are nowhere near as good for the body. However, all is not lost as there are plenty of ways to improve your diet…
When I started looking for ways to cut our grocery budget when we committed to paying off all of our debt. I found tons of articles that told me to stockpile food, and to eat more pasta and rice. We don’t eat much pasta or rice at the best of times and we knew that…
We all know when that 3pm slump hits we go searching for the coffee and donuts to see us through to the end of the day (uh… yum), but the problem is, an hour later you’re left in the same sluggish, tired and drab state you were before. Not the best. This is why you…
If you’ve read much about weight loss or weight management in the last few years, chances are you’ve come across the term ‘Intermittent Fasting’ or IF for short. Celebrities like Hugh Jackman credit this style of eating for his lean, muscled physique in the X-Men movies, but is it possible for you to do this…
“Wait… you’re not wearing makeup?” Hearing this is actually a really nice compliment, but it also amazes me how much my lack of makeup surprises other people! I get all kinds of questions about why I don’t wear makeup and what I do wear so I figured it was a great topic to start talking…

Having a baby leads to all kinds of body changes, and not all of them leave you feeling too crash hot about yourself. Things are soft that weren’t soft before, your core strength has packed up and left and sometimes you might even look in the mirror and not recognise the person looking back. It’s…
You’ve never felt hungry like ‘pregnant woman hungry’. It’s different. As soon as you get an idea of what you want to eat, you have to have it, right then and there. Raging hormones, food aversions and horrible nausea mean that when you do find something you want to eat, it’s a good idea to…
Let’s face it. Most of us could use a little bit more exercise in our lives. We could all stand to eat more vegetables and fewer cookies. Some people naturally find the daily motivation to get up an hour earlier and run 5 miles before heading to the office. I’m not one of those people. Chances are…
If you have ever been on a diet that didn’t end well, you are not alone. Millions of smart, kind, reasonable women like yourself go on diets every day and “fail”. In fact, the 95% of dieters who actually lose weight end up gaining it back. In no other industry do we reward lousy programming and…
